It sounds pretty stupid, unless they make a serious effort, like using Denzel Washington.
Yikes, I googled him, he is 58 years old, but he could still play a 45 year old Bond I suppose.

For me, the character of James Bond lost credibility when they went out of their way to show that he wasn’t a smoker (I think it was Tomorrow Never Dies.). Screw it, I’ll just read the novels by Ian Fleming from now on!

I guess the era of realism in movies is over. I can't see your eyes, so I don't know how to take that.

Sorry, I don’t want a list of future PC James Bonds. However, I must say, this Salmon guy is mighty good looking. Has those rugged facial features many (both men and women) like. Just not as James Bond, who was always a white guy, by the way. Just sayin....

You would recognize him if you saw him. He is a great Bond possibility

You are partially right.
I have not watched a single Bond since Connery.
Moore was no more a serious Bond than he was a serious Maverick.
Moore was the Saint.
A black Bond?
You gotta be chittin me. Bond was described in every Fleming book as a SCOTSMAN. Not a black Scotsman. A Scotsman.
This Affirmative Action crap is really going too far.
What next?
Nathan B. Forrest played by Samuel L. Jackson?

I never was a fan of Bond movies, in fact I mostly hated them, but the new ones with Craig are very good.
To: RPTMS
Even the coolest Bond, (Sean Connery type), needs to show a hint of something in there, and smoking is the perfect imperfection to convey a hint of the personality of the man living that lifestyle of violence and death and risk, no matter how controlled and composed that he appears on the surface.

Ru Paul is James Bond. He is too busy in his continual run for president and his home school curriculum with a bunch of truthers.

He is a great Bond possibility No
Looks too old and out of shape. Not very impressive in a suit.
And he looks like Yul Brenner with a tan.

the character of James Bond lost credibility when they went out of their way to show that he wasnt a smoker They would have lost credibilty with me if Bond were a smoker and he didn't collapse gasping for air everytime he had to chase or fight somebody.

No kidding.
I remember getting up to walk out of the first Iron Man at the credits when someone sitting behind me said "wait, there's an extra scene at the end."
I was FLOORED at the sight of Samuel L. Jackson wearing the eye-patch, and think he's been perfect in the Nick Fury role. The only issue I've had with the character is that they didn't go with the much better alternate ending scene in Captain America.
